Answer:
Soil is formed through the process of rock weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles when in contact with water (flowing through rocks), air or living organisms. Weathering can occur physically, biologically or chemically.

Explanation:
Rocks turn into soil through the process of weathering. Weathering is when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces. Physical weathering occurs when natural forces, such as water or wind, physically break apart the rock without chemically changing it. Over time a large rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually turning into soil. Chemical weathering occurs when water gets inside of a rock and reacts with some of the mineral components of the rock, chemically changing them and weakening the rock's structure. This causes the rock as a whole to break down, and over time chemical weathering can break a rock into small enough pieces to become soil. Once the rock is in very tiny pieces, it mixes together with organic and other inorganic elements to form the soil we are familiar with.
